WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST

We as children of God are in a unique position to know the truth of God. Many are blinded by the lies of the evil one. Those of us who were raised in church often take for granted the message of the cross. We have become desensitize to the suffering of Jesus. He endured more than would be humanly possible and kept going. Because he understood what was at stake, our futures.

It is easy to get complacent in this life. Daily struggles and responsibilities distract us from what God would have us do. That is why I try to encourage you to keep your God Focus. It is something I have to remind myself of daily.

I had a thought I wanted to share with you. None of us are on the same spot on our journey. Some have been walking with God for many years. Others may have just made the big step to start turning over control to Jesus. It doesn’t matter where we are or how much bible we know, we can always grow in grace and wisdom.

Prov 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

We all have stumbled and fell short of God’s plan. We fall and we fail him. But we pick ourselves up and we start again. Use the natural for an example: There is a reason why young children are called toddlers.  Because the are easy to fall. They are still learning balance and how to walk. As they mature into school age, they are steadier on their feet, but still fall occasionally.

This is how we are as Christians. When we first start our faith walk. We are unsteady, still wrapped up in the world in many ways. But we slowly begin to get our balance. We think we can walk, then the enemy comes along and tests that theory. We stumble and fall. God knows we are trying and he forgives us when we ask.

The next time the enemy comes with the same thing, we are a little wiser to his traps. This time we know how to avoid it. But with each new level in God there is a new level of devil to fight. This is why it is so important for us to learn to be led by the Spirit. This is why we need discernment so that we can resist the enemy.

This is not a journey we can do alone. We need the body of Christ. It is important to surround yourself with a group of people that have your back.  People you can pray with and encourage as well as draw encouragement from for your walk. This is what church is about, finding a group of people that love God and love one another.

How does the world know we are followers of Christ.  Is it our bumper sticker on our car? Is it the fact that we carry the bible with us everywhere we go? Is it the cool saying on our Christian T-shirt.

 John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Some say love one for another. But the King James Version says love one to another which means we show that love. We don’t just have love for our brothers and sisters. But we give that love to them.

I hope this encourages you to seek God, walk closer and share the love he has given you with those around you. Love God and Love People, this is what we are called to do.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
